![]() ![]() Boot files are no problem - Diskeeper handles now worries - Low performing system files are also no problem - The difference is that diskeeper will not touch exclusively locked files to ensure data integrity. I asked about the fact it is running continually but was told this was correct otherwise when I start the scanner it will be 'forcefully' rejected unless I remember to go back in and start the service - just wish there was a way within the software to set this as and when needed. Diskeeper is good, but on my newest PC (nForce2) it makes WinXP unresponsive and appear to lock up whilst diskeeper is active (despite being set to normal priority). Compare price, features, and reviews of the software side-by-side to make the best choice for your business. Diskeeper prevents now as much as 85 of fragmentation BEFORE it happens. My firewall has it listed also but I know that is to allow the full access not that O&O is going anywhere as such. software is the fact that it is always running as a service even though I use it manually. But at which price point Dedicated cache along with a secure 'main HDD array' sounds much better and predictable to me than the tiered storage. But a tiered storage space alone or along with Diskeeper 2016 may be similar to PrimoCache right now. The only thing I don't like which is probably the same with the other defrag. Plus, Diskeeper 2016 aparently added RAM READ caching - but no L2 cache like PrimoCache. ![]() I'd say for speed go with Diskeeper, for a rigorous defrag go with PerfectDisk. It's not as fast as Diskeeper, but that's because it will do a much more rigorous free space consolidation and file placement optimization. I like the new version and it certainly can work fast although I do not let it run in the background. You may want to check out PerfectDisk from Raxco as well. I am running the current version of O&O after running v6 of the same software. I recommend using the entire 30 day period to evaluate a defragger as DK8 particularly seemed to take a week or so before my system benefitted from it. Diskeeper Home also allows users to continuously defragment their hard drives in the background without hogging resources and causing sluggish performance. Virus scans take about 8 mins less and generally the system seems much smoother and responsive but as ronjor mentioned sometimes defraggers are even more finnicky than AV programs, so try a few, you may find that your system will tell which one it prefers. ![]() I used to use DK8 but have recently switched to PD7 and couldn't be happier. Here is a link to the problem some users are having with NOD it doesn't seem to be widespread as only a few users are reporting it so it may be related to a software combination instead of just a conflict with NOD or Sygate. Another factor to consider is that with the latest DK version 9, Executive Software has decided to begin using TCP ports for internal program communication for some strange reason or another and this is begining to conflict with NOD and Sygate on some systems.
